I was digging through why Google was saying "Indexed, not submitted to sitemap", and then I found a major flaw in sitemap.

From https://revi.wiki/sitemap.xml :

<sitemap>
<loc>
https://static.miraheze.org/reviwikiwiki/sitemaps/sitemap-reviwikiwiki-NS_0-0.xml.gz
</loc>
<lastmod>2021-01-30T00:57:34Z</lastmod>
</sitemap>

Very first line of it:

	<url>
		<loc>https://static.miraheze.org/wiki/About</loc>
		<lastmod>2021-01-29T02:05:07Z</lastmod>
		<priority>1.0</priority>
	</url>

Yes, this is linking to static.miraheze.org/wiki/About, which is.... 404.

Verified against Meta and (allthetropes sitemap generates 404, btw) spiralwiki.

Event Timeline

Interesting... I mean, since we've (I think?) resolved the issue with sitemaps on private wikis, this seems like less of an issue, but it's not immediately clear to me what the best solution is to correct the problem with 404 pages being linked?

@Reception123 feel free to raise this task's priority as I'm not quite sure where/how to prioritize it.

Raising back to how @Reception123 had it

I don't see how the two bugs are related. The best solution is to fix the script to show links to pages that exist.

Adding Paladox based on recent Magic repo commits

@RhinosF1 Oh, I wasn't trying to suggest the bugs were related at all. Glad @Paladox was able to resolve this, though. :)

Dmehus claimed this task.

Closing this as resolved based on @revi and @Paladox conversation on Discord (in a private channel) that indicates this was the case. Feel free to reopen if unresolved
